I have to give kudos when its due to Comcast. I had problems with every TiVo I ever used a CC in, but last night I helped a friend upgrade their HD and the first call to the CC line worked and within 3 minutes everything was working.

So like many say, keep calling until you get someone that knows what they are doing.

My past three Tivo replacements I never had to call Comcast and Re Pair my card. Last night I tried setting up my new Roamio pro with my working M card from my XL4 and it would never work, eventually threw up a 161-1 error. I suppose I need to contact comcast

I just got an answer over in the comcast forums about the rollout in South Florida (which will bring updated firmware to cable cards as the only important bit I want), and they are currently expecting "before the end of the year" (of course just a little while ago they were expecting "this summer").

I am in Palm Beach Gardens and am having prolems getting all channels "authorized." No issues with our 3 other TiVos, however.

Are you using a TA? We don't on any of the other TiVos, and I don't think this is the problem. So far, Comcast has not been helpful and only wants to "roll a truck."

What was your ultimate resolution? Executive Customer Care has not returned any of my calls so far but has been very helpful in the past.

Don't have one - I'm waiting for the TiVo fall update and/or the Comcast infrastructure update (whichever comes first) to see if either of them will make the TiVo work as well as it did before 20.3 showed up.

Moving my CableCard from my TiVoHD to my new Roamio Basic went pretty well, using the special number listed above. I think I may have been working with a new agent. I did have to read the numbers about 5 times before she was able to read them back correctly. Once she was able to read them back correctly, she put them in the system, and I was receiving all but XFinity OnDemand (which showed up about 6 hours later).

I'm in Jupiter. After reading about all the issues with Comcast I decided to wait until they update their cable cards -- hopefully in October. I still have an XL4 that loses channels on a regular basis, and I don't want a repeat performance. Funny that my S3, and Ceton PC tuner never have these problems.

Have you been able to record 6 non-premium channels at once?

The issue for me is only being able to record the "local" channels right now. For every other channel I am getting the "not authorized" (V58) error. After many calls and finally an escalation, (no thanks to the WPB Executive Customer Service departmenr, who stopped answerinf thier phones) they are deleting and rebuilding my cablecard as we speak.

Once this is fixed, we will see what happend with 6 tuners. I am excited to get rid of all the other Tivos and keep this one with a few Tivo Minis. Plus a lot less Cablecards!

Tried pairing up my cable card in my new Pro unit last nite. No luck, oh hey wait 45 min to an hr it should would. Horse **** I say! Anyways, called back today and of course they didn't enter the HOST ID # correctly. They re hit the card and it should be set, unfortunately I am at work, so I will check when I get home. Wish me luck!

i wish that number worked for all comcast customers, nationwide. unfortunately it doesn't support our market.

That number was mistyped. It is 877-405-2298. You still might not get support in your area but make sure you use the right number.

They've been working well for me over the last couple of weeks. I switched from a HDXL to a Roamio Basic back to the HDXL and then to a Roamio Plus. I only had one hiccup. They forgot to add a code to the Roamio Plus requiring a 2nd call to get onDemand listed and working. The Rep fixed it and waited for me to launch a free movie.

I am still holding. Read in forums that some SA CCs with older firmware do not support 6 tuners. Unfortunately no way to tell before hand? Could call Comcast and ask - now that there is funny.

If you have a Motorola CableCard you are probably fine. I believe nearly all, if not all of the Motorola M-cards have new enough firmware to work fine.

If you have a Cisco/Scientific-Atlanta Cablecard, then you would want to check the firmware version, which you should be able to see in the TiVo cable-card menu and then check it against the thread about the problem with 6 tuners not working on older cablecards.

I must be a lucky one(keeping fingers crossed). I took the cable card out of my HD and popped it in my Roamio Plus. NOthing at first, then rebooted the Roamio and everything worked like a charm. All 6 tuners...hope it stays that way...so far im impressed

You should still call the Comcast cable-card line and have them pair the card. Video on Demand for example will not work until the card is paired to the new TiVo.

If you don't get VOD or any premium channels then you can probably get away with what you've done. It is possible though that at some point Comcast will audit their records and realize your card is no longer properly paired, and shut things off till you call them.

Cablecard pairing, in my case (moving a card from an Elite to a Roamio) took 5 mins when I called the special 877 number.... so, I don't see why anyone would NOT do it and risk having their service interrupted at an unfortunate time.
